Having competed with the alliance founded by Santana Lopes, president of the MPT will symbolically integrate AD lists by Lisbon in 25th place. AD’s electoral program will include MPT proposals in environmental matters.
Will not be part of the coalition as the Popular Monarchical Party (PPM) did, but the Earth Party (MPT) It will give “political support” to the new AD, which after a large shuttle with the Constitutional Court is officially called “AD-PSD/CDS coalition”.
Despite not having great electoral expression – it obtained only 4,267 votes in the last legislatures – the MPT, founded in 1993, has seen its contribution to the area of environmental protection. And all the votes tell Luís Montenegro, in some legislature that once again are waited with.
MPT President Pedro Soares Pimenta will symbolically integrate AD lists by Lisbonin 25th place, position considered ineligible, confirms the secretary general of the PSD Hugo Soares to.
But AD’s electoral program will include MPT proposals in environmental matterscurrently in the revision phase.
Remember that In the last legislatures the MPT competed for the AllianceParty created by Pedro Santana Lopes, already extinct, after obtaining only 4,267 votes (0.07%).
In addition to support for the legislatures, a fighter agreement will also be signed between the PSD and the MPT with a view to the municipal elections. The coalitions for this electoral act will be decided locally, by the council structures.
Already the PPM of Gonçalo da Câmara Pereira is, which forced the change of the name of the coalition. The name now considered deceiving (“democratic alliance”), Montenegro to the court the name “AD – Democratic Alliance – PSD/CDS”, which also ended, until the TC accepted “AD – PSD/CDS coalition” unanimously.
But even so, the PPM says it will appeal this decision to the Constitutional Plenary.
